The missing number is 110.

The missing number is 110.   
Explanation: 
The original series is:      60, 69, 85, 110, 146, 195......
The differences (phase 1):  9,  16,  25,   36,  49......
The differences(phase 2, that means differences of the differences) are: 
7, 9, 11, 13, ......... simple odd numbers (starting with 7).    

If I am not clear enough, please let me know and I'll try harder.   

Love is the battery of life....

I came up with the answer a slightly different way.

The square roots of  the given differences (9, 16, and 36) are 3, 4, and 6. Therefore the missing difference is 5 squared or 25, which when added to 85 gives you the next number in the sequence, 110.
